Her jockey Christophe Soumillon, who won all three Arc trials on the programme commented: “Of all my wins today Mandesha impressed me the most. She won very easily and is a filly with great potential” Mandesha has been entered into the Prix de l’Opera but a supplementation into the Arc is now being discussed by connections.
